Electrosurgery has been used in dentistry for more than half a century. There is abundant literature on electrosurgery dating back more than a century. During the past three decades, a substantial increase in minimally invasive surgery and microvascular surgery prompted greater use of electrosurgery. Although this surge in utilization has resulted in new applications, equipment features, problems and solutions, the use of electrosurgery in the field of restorative dentistry has remained relatively unchanged. The presence of conflicting and sometimes confusing information on electrosurgical wound healing in the dental literature is the most likely reason. This article briefly explains the literature review of electrosurgery and clinical application of electrosurgery in aesthetic and restorative dentistry.
Today, there is an increasing need for health-coalitions to handle situations such as the outbreak of diseases, earthquakes, or tsunamis throughout the world. Such situations arise most unexpectedly and need a rapid formation and deployment of a coalition of agencies to handle the situation. Interaction between coalition members (software systems) can be done using web services over the ubiquitous Internet. The coalition members securely share the information resources of the individual members. Absence of a means to guarantee such security, especially when interacting over the public Internet, prevents organizations from joining the coalitions. In this paper, we summarize the results of our work in building a prototype of health services coalition system. Our system offers confidentiality and integrity to all the participating members and the services they share by using secure web services. It employs a secure coalition service registry (CSR) for member organizations to register the services that they wish to share. It ensures that only authenticated members access the coalition. Finally, we describe the prototype and possible extensions to the work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
